CNN's post RNC poll

Trump's new edge rests largely on increased support among independents, 43% of whom said that Trump's convention in Cleveland left them more likely to back him, while 41% were dissuaded. Pre-convention, independents split 34% Clinton to 31% Trump, with sizable numbers behind Johnson (22%) and Stein (10%). Now, 46% say they back Trump, 28% Clinton, 15% Johnson and 4% Stein.

Interesting. When I was reading the story, a video popped up on CNN.com with what struck me as a decidedly anti-Trump story with clips from Hillary Clinton campaign ad. Clinton lectures that Trump's a "bad role model for children."

Did CNN deliberately place a video story to counter the message of its polling story?

Does the Hillary Clinton campaign have the audacity to claim its candidate is a better role model?
